Incorporating facial exercises into your busy lifestyle is the best way to tone and tighten loose skin around the eyes, mouth and jaw. And it only takes minutes!

Face yoga is a series of exercises that promise to do for your
face what yoga does for your body: relax and tone muscles.
Mimicking facial expressions will sooth those tension-filled
expressions we make every day without even realizing it. Whatever
you want to call it - facial yoga or yoga based facial exercises
for toning your muscles - just think of it as yoga for your face.
Try the best exercises for your facial muscles.

Eyes and Mouth Exercise

For this facial yoga exercise, make a face as if you were to
pronounce the letter O. While holding your O, try stretching the
area below your nose, looking up, and hold for 10 seconds. Do 2
sets. It is easier if you don’t stop breathing in the middle of a
pose. Try to avoid this by breathing as usual and relaxing as you
shape your face.

This facial yoga exercise is the easiest of all of the face yoga
poses. Experts say all you have to do is "imagine the face of
Buddha superimposed over your face like a Photoshop filter." Just
close your eyes, visualize the point between your eyebrows, and
make a very slight smile. This facial yoga exercise relaxes those
lines on your face as well.

Cheek Resistance Exercise

One face yoga exercise that can tighten sagging skin is the
fingertip lift. To perform this exercise, place your fingertips on
the apples of your cheeks. Apply firm pressure as you smile wide.
This creates resistance and can tighten your muscles over time.
Ensure that your teeth are visible and hold your position for 10
seconds. Slowly let your mouth relax.

Stick your tongue as far out as possible, facing the tip of your
tongue upward. From that pose, tilt your head back until a vertical
line forms between your neck and your lower jaw, and hold for 10
seconds. Do 2 sets of this pose. Sticking your tongue out helps
promote secretion of pancreatic gland hormones that is thought to
have an anti-aging effect on your body.

Total Face Exercise

First, scrunch your face, closing your eyes and pursing your lips
closed. Hold that position for five seconds. Next, open your eyes
as wide as possible and stick your tongue out, trying to touch it
to your chin. This facial yoga exercise stretches the facial
muscles and may be beneficial in reducing wrinkles.
